[comp.lang.perl] perl-4.0 on SCO-Xenix

usenet@carssdf.UUCP (John Watson) (03/22/91)

Only one test fails on Perl-4.0    under   SCO Xenix 386 Ver 2.3.3
with devlopment system 2.3.1    compile options were:

op/regexp......FAILED on test 124

CFLAGS = -M3es -UM_I86 -UM_XENIX -DM_UNIX -DMSTATS -Zp2 -Ot -I/u/ctree -I/u/rtree -I/u/dtree/include

The -Zp2 is for the benefit of the ctree... included packages for usersub.

I tried -Oilt, but the i & l each failed. (tested separatly).  Even with
   BUGGY_MSC etc...

I had to add "extern char **environ;" at the top of my
   /usr/include/stdlib.h file,

and I had to edit config.sh for   i_time='define'
and the usual yacc -Sm12000
I use Lary's malloc.c  because -lmalloc core dumps on several tests.

The best news is that the MEMORY LEAK is CLOSED.  Running the older programs
that gobbled up endless memory under 3.44, no more.  The leaking is down
by at least 90% and the rest is probably in my code.

Has anyone done any better?
